suddenly vividly remembered this girl I met in high school on a archdiocese-wide weekend retreat who would chew on soda can tabs like gum
I remember asking her if she'd ever accidentally swallowed one, and she was like "yeah, and it really hurts when I poop it out" and I did not ask any followup questions
#the bear roars#I went on a LOT of these retreats in high school#and I met a LOT of really weird people on them#and the Catholicism was the least weird thing about all of them

By far one of the DOPEST sheds found. This pic is very telling and shows sometimes the predator underestimates the prey; inevitably paying the ultimate cost. I can imagine seeing this buck stroll about with a rotting carcass hanging until it shed that late winter/early spring. Imagine all the doe loving it missed out on spooking the ladies with a predator puppet adorned its crown. (SRC: Urban Outdoorsman on FB.)

so in DBT, there's a concept called the Wise Mind, which is a mental state where you are thinking and acting with both your emotions and logical thought. You access your Wise Mind by striking a balance between your Emotional Mind and your Rational Mind.
One of the ways I was taught to access my Wise Mind is by letting each of the two Minds say what they need to say, listen without judgment or argument, and once they are finished and satisfied that they have been heard, find where the balance between them is -- find something that both my Emotional and Rational Minds can agree to. I actually "invite" each Mind to step forward in turn so I can hear what they have to say to me, so that I can properly act as Wise Mind between them.
Over the past few days, I've been having a lot of difficulty with anxious thoughts disrupting me, and I've been doing this practice a lot. Just over a couple of days, it has evolved quite a bit. For example, the two Minds have gone from being invisible voices to formed figures.
My Rational Mind is a large wolf -- calm, confident, and careful. It holds all my past experiences, good and bad, and it weighs every judgment against them. When I invite it to step forward, it sits with a straight back and pricked ears.
My Emotional Mind... takes the form of a neurotic German shepherd. It lives in the moment and is concerned only with the now, the thoughts and feelings of the present. It paces more often than not, head down, ears low, tail half-tucked.
The Minds have no opinion of each other, positive or negative, and they have no opinion of me. There's no reason for them to; they're both part of me. We're in this together, the three of us.
All of this is to say that if I ever post on here about "the brain-shep"... that's who I mean.

Feel like it says something when my dentist offers to let me pay in installments, then says "we don't really do payment plans, but you're in here all the time and we trust you"
